This book reads as if it may have occurred just weeks or months in our future. As the price of daily necessities rises along with the temperature, and people across the globe deal with more frequent earthquakes, weather events, conflicts between nations, and pandemics; a group of people with varied areas of expertise work for the United States Army to find solutions to the world's woes. Of course their unsolicited intervention can sometimes be a source of additional conflict. The time these people devote to these efforts to save millions of others takes a toll on their families and their own health, both mental and physical. The tension in this book is palpable, and keeps the reader turning pages. The sense that this may be closer to reality than fiction is its own source of tension, but also one that keeps readers reading into the night. Yet, there is hope, and its source is revealed as the story progresses.
I highly recommend Vanished. It may very well be a book that you will want to share with friends and family. I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy from Thomas Nelson via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
